A Winter's Tale

A Winter’s Tale Oh how I wish winter to be here again Just the snow that lightly falls not the rain To see the landscape all picturesque and white It’s such a calming and beautiful sight With snow flakes gently falling all through the day The watery sun that shines sometimes will pay Great dividends of many colours in the snow Like silver and gold glittering aglow Till the winds arrive in the night Building great drifts with its might Then we look at the splendid sight And realise we must find our snow spades That we put away last spring in the shed So trudging there to find it and the sled We find it a glorious sparkling sight Of long thin hanging icicles glowing bright Now we are free to have our escapades Like children throwing snowballs from spades Building snowmen and riding the sled Then before too long it’s time for bed To start all over again the next glorious day Oh how I wish it would always stay 30/11/16
